On3 left US LBM Coaches Poll No. 3 Notre Dame out of its projected College Football Playoff bracket last week.
The Fighting Irish, however, are right back in the bracket after their upset win over previously top-ranked Miami on Saturday.
Notre Dame was also previously in the “First Four Out” row a couple of times. Now, the Irish are the projected No. 6 seed this week.
The Irish are predicted to face No. 11 Indiana in the CFP opening round. The winner of that game will move on to face No. 3 UCLA in the quarterfinals.
On3’s top-four seeds are Georgia, Utah, Tennessee and the Bruins.
